A survey showed that the average woman tells almost 500 lies a year about her eating and drinking habits, the Daily Mail reported.

Favorite untruths include, "It was only a small portion" after eating a large meal, and "I'll have a big lunch so I won't eat much after this", when they know they will have an afternoon of sugary treats and fatty foods.

Chocolate is the food that women are most likely to lie about, followed by crisps and cake.

For drinking, the "I had only one glass" line is frequently served up after an entire bottle of wine has been polished off.

据英国《每日邮报》报道，研究发现，每个女性平均一年要说近500个关于吃喝习惯的谎言。

其中，最爱说的谎言包括：吃了一顿大餐后会说，“我就吃了那么一点儿”。当知道会有高糖、高油脂的下午茶时会说，“我中午要大吃一顿，所以一会我不会吃太多”。

尤其在面对巧克力时，女性最有可能说谎，其次是薯条和蛋糕。

在饮酒方面，女性通常在喝完整整一瓶葡萄酒后会说，“我只喝了一杯酒”。
